I am bidding right now on two vintage violets over 50 years old..........

The reason I can't give you a leaf of Patina (yes......she has pink and silver running through the veins). This chirita leaf was given to me by a good friend. I just ordered a lot of chirita leaves from Cedar Creek and I showed them Patina.......so I have promised them the first plant. They are also trying to increase their offerings of species chiritas, so I told them I would try some by seed.

I just stuck her again so eventually we will have lots of Patinas. Bill Price showed her at the national convention in Canada (I think). Anyway, she won Best In Class.

I will look for the original 10 avs and see what i can find out........probably nothing (smiling)
Have to leave a picture of some kind.
Rainbow's Quiet Riot has some blooms. My first african violet in a couple of years.
